view with Rochester reporter printed
some years ago. Her recital will DE of inter
est at this time:
''For many years we have been at work in
Washington. In 1866 we protested against
inserting the word male in the second sec
ton of the fourteenth amendment. Up to
that time there had been nothing III the con
stitution which Disseminated against women.
We failed III our protest. We subsequently
demanded that i'll the fifteenth amendment
the word sex should he inserted after race
or color That was refused. Then de
mauded "a sixteenth amendment, prohibiting
the states from Merchandising ON account
of sex In 1870 Francis Miner, of St. Louis,
sent to our convention at Washington II
series of resolutions claiming the right
of the women to vote under the four
teenth amendment. These resolutions were
accented by us. We worked ON that basis
and demanded that congress should pass a dec
Iaratory law authorizing women to vote i'll ac-
corulance with that amendment. petition
with 10000 to $4,000 signatures was sent tC
congress asking for the passage of such law
The committee to whom the question was re-
ferred brought in a majority report against
the proposed law, and this report was
adopted. Gen. Butler was a member of the
committee, and he brought in a minority re-
port favorable to our cause. This was But
Iers first move TO show that he Sympa-
thized with us. In 1872 women all over the
country attempted to vote. l and eight
others registered in the Eighth ward in
Rochester and voted. Mine was made

tried, found guilty and fined 500 In 1875
the supreme court decided that women
could not vote under the provisions of
the constitution From that time we have
continued our efforts to secure an amend
ment To the constitution We have annually
sent to congress petitions with 100000 sigma
lures We have had hearings before diff
ferent committees of the house and senate.
We, however, in the meantime demanded
special committees. In lSS2 both houses
granted US a special committee and each com
mittee presented a favorable report to the
Forty-seventh congress. The present senate
reappointed the select committee which made
an admirable report. The house, however.
refused to give a committee, and our pc
titions were thrown into the hands of the ju-
dietary committee. A two hours hearing
was given us but n majority report was
brought i'll against us and a minority report

MRS. LUCY E. BARBER,

The Woman of Alfred, N ". Who Dared
to Present Her Vote.
The little village Of Alfred, Allegheny
county, n. Y, was thrown into a state Of
considerable excitement on Nov. 2 by the
action of Mrs. Lucy F. Barber, who presented
herself at the polls, and demanded, when her
vote was challenged, that she be allowed to
swear it in. This the inspectors of election,
Isaac NJ. Langworthy, Albert w. Lang
worthy and Frank B. Goodwin after a long
consultation, concluded to do, and Mrs. Barber
had the satisfaction of knowing that at least
one woman in the Empire state had exercised
the same rights of franchise as are accorded
to men. Mrs. Barber was afterward arrested.
The matter is of particular interest, since,
upon the outcome of this case, to great ex-
tent, depends the progress of the woman suf-
frage movement in New York state.
Mrs. BARRIERS face as shown in the picture
here presented, is that of a bright, sensible
and withal "a determined woman Her hair
is short.
Mrs Barber was born in Alfred and her
maiden name was Sweet. Her husband is
farmer. She was married to him quite
young, and is the mother of eleven children,
six of whom are living. -Four died III in
fancy, and one was crushed to death while
coupling cars. Twenty-Five years since she
was baptzed by Rev. ". V. Hull into the
Seventh Day Baptist church in Alfred, OF
which she is still member. She is also a
member of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union
She says that she was led to offer her vote
by the circular issued by MIR. Hamilton Will
cox, stating that the provisions of law which
formerly forbade women to vote in this state
have been repealed, declaring it the inspec-
tors duty to- receive the vote of any woman
who has the legal qualifications, especially If
she take the voters oath, and giving the
opinion of leading lawyers concurring.
The case of Mrs. Barber naturally brings
to mind that of Miss Susan B. Anthony, of
Rochester, " V, the leader of the wOman'S

the other day by woman whose reputation
for practical common sense makes her opin-

Rosssr's Isout OF Sheridan.

In his second edition Of himself, Rossel
undertakes some revision which he re-
CARDS as important to his work. It wac
not his intention to positively prohibit
Sheridan from visiting the Shenandoah
Valley, but merely to prescribe conditions.
Not prohibition, but. regulation. III Sheri-
dan wants to visit old battle grounds in
Shenandoah, let him ride quietly up the
Valley, and not so down there with mill
tary array and in a formal manner"
Sheridan might disguise himself az a
book agent, or smuggle himself through in
q prize package, or palm himself of IS the
twirling terror Of q bass bsll club. But he
couldn't borrow Brother Watteraon's hun
dred Thousand unarmed Ksntuckians fol
q body guard, or march through at the
head Of the Marine Band, or ride in bis
four-mule army ambulance. Anything
OF this sort would be in the nature OF mil
itary array, and not riding in the quiet
style Of Jelfersonian simplicity upon
which the volunteer custodian Of the
Shenandoah Valley insists. With mem.
cries Of tho last time he was near Roeser
in the Valley crowding upon him, Sheri-
dan will not dare to brave his fury again.

Tho Prohibition Question.

To the Editor Of the Lnae!igencer.
SlR:--1n response to your call for e1.
presaions Of opinion by your readers on
the prohibition question, will you kindly
permit me to call attention to the fac
that in the success Of the Union party in
the coming campaign lies all the hopes o.
a free government. No honest man, North
or South but must admit, aa the Solid
South does admit, that colored voters
are denied privileges guaranteed them by
the constitution. This is notification
this is treason, GO by it the will OF the
majority is reversed and every Republi-
can voter in the United States practically
DISTINGUISHED. II this is to continue Union
men may as well stay ct home on tho
day Of the national election, and until
this question 10 settled I for one, though
q prohibitionist that yields to none in my
opposition to theliquortratiic, must coneid-
er all dabbling with aide issues little short
of criminal, playing into the hands Of
%organized treason and incipient rebellion.
Let the Republican party insist on the
right OF every qualified voter to caat one
vote and no more and have that
vote honestly counted. Lat them pro-
nounco in favor OF Robert T. Lincoln for
President, a good man eminently fitted 10
fill the chair honored by the names Of
Washington and Lincoln, but diagyaced
by its present fraudulen. incumbent who
hands out fat Offices to u%nrepentant and
defiant Rebels with one hand while con.
signing dependent Union veterans TO the
%poorhouses OF tho country with the other.
Republicans Of Rosne county arc for
prohibition and will go vote "committal"
or no "committal," but We do not wiah

Tho Pcnslon vetoes.

General Sherman, in his letter on the
attitude Of certain Grand Army men In
tho Weat towards President Cleveland,
goes to the marrow Of the penaion ques.
ton when ho says: ~ do not believe the
Government can be too charitable 10 the
old soldiers wounded, or in distress by ago
and infImity, and had I been near Mr..
Cleveland I would not have vantured to
advise him on the general bill, but as 10
the private caaes I would have said Char.
ity enters largely into all pensions, and
when any special bills have psuaed tho or.
deal Of the committees OF the Senate and
House, approve Them"
Tho dissatisfaction rests not solely,tor
perhaps 80 much, on the fact that the Pres.
ident has been free with penaion vetoes,
aa on tho other fac. that no has a particu-
larly otensive way Of putting on the veto.
He cannot find time to investigate each
case 40 the committees do, and yet he sets
himself above the committees and above
both Houses as to the merits OF every case.
From this 1t is fair 10 infer that the Presl.
dent is not in nympsthy with the DISPOSE.
ton Of the country to sive a pension in
every deserving case. This inference lie
further strengthened by the language
used by the President in some Of this vetoez

intent to hold uptothe public contemplate
applicants whom Congress had thought
meritorious and entitled to reliof.
